Just as a little more detail for anyone reading this. There is a little relief to manually retaining the keys yourself. I have been looking into this for work because of the changes Microsoft is making. New Windows 11 devices will automatically enable BitLocker which is not ideal for enterprise management as it adds more work for us when deploying computers to our users. If you log in to Windows with a Microsoft account it will store your keys on your profile.
